It will likely take weeks, and possibly even months, before fire investigators are able to make a determination as to why a beloved historic clubhouse on Ward’s Island went up in flames over the weekend.
"A total loss fire presents challenges. However, the team is trained to look at fire patterns and look at ignition sources," Deputy Fire Chief Larry Cocco told reporters at the scene Monday. "It makes it more difficult but it's not impossible."Cocco spoke as heavy equipment was used to sort through the wreckage and debris behind him, all that remains of a building that was erected in 1938.
Whatever the cause, the local community said in a statement Monday that the loss of the clubhouse, which hosted countless weddings and other celebrations, is "devastating." The statement went on to thank the firefighters who contained the blaze and kept it from spreading as well as community members who alerted others to the danger.
